HURLING

  HARI MYERS

Early morning
hurling chunks.
The exuberance of
free-spirited youth
should lead to this;

The passion for,
and celebration of
the fullness of life
should humble me
to such a degree.

Celebration, yes,
of the most basic,
simplest, and primordial form.
A lifestyle experienced by many
but, endured by few.
And those who have endured,
bear the price.
​
Early morning
hurling chunks
of firewood
to keep the homestead warm.
